Give My Love to Nell

Three years ago both Jack and Joe

Set sail across the foam

Each vowed a fortune he would gain

Before returning home

In one short year Jack gained his wealth

And he short sail away

And as the boy shook hands to part

Poor Joe could only say

Give my love to Nellie Jack

And kiss her once for me

The sweetest girl in all this world

I'm sure you'll say is she

Now treat her kindly Jack old pal

And tell her I am well

His parting words were don't forget

To give my love to Nell

Three years had passed when Joe at last

Gained wealth enough for life

And he started sail across the foam

To make sweet Nell his wife

That Nell and Jack had well

And he regrets

That he had ever said

Please give my love to now

Whoa yeah
